Welcome to the 2nd installment of Crafty Mommy Monday! I'm going to attempt to make this a weekly post (of course, I may have to take a week off when Maggie comes...we'll see).
This past week Campbell and I've continued our work with colors. We've made green and yellow color books to add to our collection. We've expanded our color sorting to three colors at a time.
We made green and yellow bracelets by lacing beads onto pipe cleaners (bought materials at Wal Mart).
I am really excited about the next unit, based on the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar. I had originally thought the unit would last a week, maybe two, but it now looks like it'll be at least a month because there are so many cute activities!
We'll also continue making the color books because Campbell has really enjoyed making and reading them and they are easy to plan and prepare...
Each unit, I hope to have unique activities including crafts, file folder games, something different on her felt board, something new to explore in a sensory box, and other fun activities that are age and developmentally appropriate.
For this unit, I have planned:
Sensory box: dry rice and pasta with stretchy rubber bugs and a butterfly magnifiying glass. I found both of those this week at the $1 bin at Target.
Felt board: story sequencing pictures
File folder game: Matching butterflies
Other activities: Tot Book/Pack
Check back next week to see pictures and videos of Campbell doing some of these activities! If you have any great ideas for this topic, I'd love to hear them!
